Where you will be working

Residents at Stanley House have varying needs, from being able to manage some of their own needs, to being fully reliant. This includes personal care involving washing, dressing, shaving and helping with continence needs. Helping residents to eat is also a big part of the daily routine.

End-of-life care is also provided to enable residents to stay in the comfort and familiar surroundings at Stanley House, where their family can also be supported.

There’s plenty of fun to be had too, through supporting residents to take part in regular communal activities, from providing wheelchair and walking assistance, to afternoons of laughter with bouncy castles, family fun days and trips to the local café, shops and bowling. It’s these precious moments that are most rewarding and make it all worthwhile.
